Table indicating regulation by substance
The index should be supplemented by a table or regulatory ‘map’ setting out to what degree and by which methods each substance on the index is currently regulated.
The statute would make it clear what constituted an offence and the schedule would set out the precise offences with the associated range of penalties. It would be the index, with its matrix of harms, that would make it possible to identify the offence that has been committed and the penalties that are appropriate.
For the sake of clarity, however, the index should be supplemented by a table or regulatory ‘map’ setting out how each substance on the index is currently regulated.
